Such as, working all the time, being broke all the time, never being able to do anything, and not having time for your friends.
Not being able to sleep, eat, bathe, or talk on the phone.
You no longer have a personal life. Your life revolves around a child. Period.
Not being able to keep on a clean shirt, because babies are messy when they eat, especially when they spit up on your shoulder, down your back and into your cleavage.
Then it really sucks when you think you are old enough, but lo and behold, baby's daddy decides he isn't, and you have to go it alone.
That means you may have to drop out of school to support your baby and scrape by to feed yourself because you have to pay daycare.
You are hungry. Supper is burning to a cinder, the baby is crying at top volume because it's starving and has the stinkiest diaper known to mankind, the phone is ringing (probably a bill collector), and someone is pounding on the door. And guess what? This is all happening at the exact same moment... what you going to do first?
This is on a normal day. Imagine what it's like when the baby is sick. Imagine what it's like when it cuts teeth. Scary, isn't it?
This takes a fully mature, fully ready, fully dedicated person. To be a mother is a full time job. You don't get paid for it, it gets VERY hectic and stressful. The hours are 24/7. And I will say it again with a BIG promise and guarantee that YOU WILL HAVE NO LIFE. Some one who isn't too young for said responsibilities will do them happily and lovingly and never resent their child for their lost life.
Oh, how the list of horrors could go on and on and get scarier and scarier... But guess what, my dear? This is the truth. This is what is reality.

As long as you're mature enough to handle the possible consequences (getting pregnant, etc), and you did it because you cared for the guy rather than because it was the 'cool thing to do' or you felt pressured, I think it's fine.
